M&M 3 and brave
 

Great!
I did it.
I installed MM3 before 3 minutes and ...
:D
Please, how to open this first game?
This is the only question for the game.
Merci.

One word more for my game history:

I am starting MM3 now.
I started MM4 before 4 years 9 times, 2 times with dead of Lord Xeen.
I started MM5 before 4 years. Passed.
I started yesterday MM9.
:whistling:

I up the levels of my heroes but hardly need to buy more spells. This option works night only. Warum?
In MM4 in 3 towns one was able to visit the relevant house and buy any spells. Handy.
Forward, brave. We have work to do..
Tremble, C.
:hihihi:

Subscribed :ph34r:

OFF
In the beginning or end of Las Vegas?
:picard:

No cheating at all.
Play as gentleman.
:bleh1:

I am in Yr terrible dreams at night, am I?
With AK 47.
Do not cry.
One may die one time..
:3:

You can change the sound configuration by typing "install" instead of "MM3" in your game folder. "Roland & Blaster" is probably the best setting but you can also try out others like "Adlib" and check what you like best.

There's only one save slot per game but you can copy it as backup into another folder now and then.

Good luck with the game. As Yoga the Experienced you can try to play it without walkthrough and solve the riddles yourself, even if you can't solve a riddle immediately there are often other ways to get some hints, you can also ask here at Abandonia. The game is more difficult than World of Xeen but you can do it.

You can bash open the walls (like in your picture) by clicking on the symbol (looks like a foot kicking), doors can also be bashed but it's better to have your robber pick the lock for experience.
There's a reason why some areas in town are separated by walls, monsters outside town are easier to defeat in the beginning.

Like with Daggerfall, ehh mate?:p

:hello:
Thank YOU very much,
dear Kmonster, for
good advises and Good Luck.
(You and me had only one problem moment.
Remember, that damaged lift in Wiz 6 - No, no, my game was kaput-)
Yes, using feets i smashed the wood barriers.

The game is more difficult than World of Xeen but you can do it.
???
True? Probably You mean the monsters.

One save slot is not problem for me at all.

Discussion:
I reached new town Baywatch and completelly investigated.
Very strange, both Mirrors, in F.Head and Baywatch did not work.
I dully write =Baywatch= or Fountain Head, answer was Destination uknown?
Probably i make some fail.
Hmmm.. will i go to some Sky clouds as in MM4? Probably yes..Will see.

Anyway, to have 4 spell casters is better as in MM4. But..we will won..

No, no i do not use any WT (Do You read it, Caro Capo?) because MM3 is very similar to M4,5.
My members are lvls 6-7 now.
The only thing i do not like is absence of constant Wizard eye spell. But i bought already this spell and even it costs me 2 gems i will use it.

..
Sound problems are solved.
:D

Danke noch ein mal..

Both the fights and the riddles in MM3 are harder than in WoX.

The mirrors do work, you just have to find out the codes for your destinations. They are written on the walls of the town somewhere, you should have seen them while exploring.

The game doesn't write down as much in its auto-notes as WoX does so I recommend using pen and paper or a text editor to write down the notes.

:palm:
Also?
Yes, i found some strange codes written on the walls and was surprised what they mean..
ha ha ha
Correct, the fights are harder than in WoX.
One more thing : I am very unpleased because i have no idea where to is directed my face - in fact i have no any compass and moreover my X image on the map has no arrow, indicating N,S, W,E.
After, in MM4,5 NWC solved this problem.
Pls what means this Delay - 5?
:whistling:
Have a good time..

Delay should affect how fast some aspects of the game are running, probably to make the game work both on slow and fast PCs.

To see which direction your party is facing you need a character with the "direction sense" skill, you have to find some place where you can learn it.

:smile2:
Roger dass.
DS

I killed Overlord Rat. What a code, Mine Gott!
It is hide in the name. Just to try some combinations and do not forget Plural.
Great idea to spend gold for Experience.
They have to keep in MM4,5.
Maybe is better and more handy present Inventary.
I mean we have only: Weapon, Armour and Misc.

Bitte, warum You think the battles here are more harder?
What about Acid Dragon in MM4? 3 water monsters?
and riddles?
Laboratoty is nicht easy password.
Also Rosebud..therewolf
Nein, nein i respect Your opinion just discusse both games.
May i said that maybe MM5 is harder than MM3 and 4.
I remember my favorite Lava monsters and our necken (tease).
:smile2:
I think there was a moment when You really thought i weep about this funny battle. No. Kidding.

The true and only true:
- First time i entered in Lava section, located far left above in MM5 i met 2-3 Lava monsters, which were no problem for brave.
Then i reatreat, rest and again step ahead.
But now, wow, was attacked by wave of 10-15 Lava monsters.
Of course i was unable to counter attack.
Aber brave is old fox. I saw that 2-3 steps left is located Teleporter. Then i did my best to eliminate the enemies between teleporter and me.
Rest is history and kidding.
:mischief:
:3:
Pls, what was Your harder moment in Clouds of Xeen?
Mine (You know was the very Lord Xeen, because of my stupidity - ha ha ha. But i was hero, dear Kmonster- all game to the meeting with the Lord without Weapons, Armour, only Spells. Whoever did same heroism?)

Actually this game is super buggy, crash everywhere :whops:

Did you guess the password ? You don't have to, you can get it from someone for doing his quest.

There's a difference between suicidal and heroic :lol:

I don't remember extremely hard battles in MM4, my party died now and then but everything was defeatable after a few retries. I guess I had the most difficulty fighting heavily armored monsters early in the game (insect swarms are painful if you haven't leveled up before and castle guards were hard to hit) and dragons which can cause a lot of damage if you don't hit them fast.
MM5 is quite challenging if you play it without MM4 but of course still doable.

If you think MM3 is easier than WoX that's because you have improved :idea: . But don't give a final statement before you've managed to finish the game.

Do not forget who is brave.
brave is brave.
Yes, the castle guards in Burlock castle were very strong and they attacked in group of 3-5 pieces.

Suiside? Nein.
With bare hands, body with spells only brave eliminated all minions of the Lord. In my last win i killed the Lord in 4 rounds, keeping all commandos alive. Only Rebecca used 2-3 times Power Cure.
Pls, do You know about hidden place named Shangri-la which gives You additional level?
OK. Try to back from Shangri-la but without using Teleport or Lloyd''s beacon spells but step by step. The exit is just before You, when entered..
I will wait to see how Geordy (Why German people like this game so much?) will manage this case.
I finished CoX being 16 level. I avoided some quests esp. in the desert with laying Minotaurs, not interesting to do again and again. You remember Yr level?
.....
I colonized Baywitch town.
And then i started to investigate town Caverns.
Many poisons..
Will i have this nice Lloyd Beacon spell here?
What is the name of final boss?
If You think this Q is cheating, pls do not answer me.
I met some town but they said = You are not allowed to enter=?!! Still?

OFF
What do You think about MM9 if You know it? I do not like it at all. Oblivion like, no, no, MM9 is before Oblivion...ah, i am not quite sure..
ha ha ha
Anyway, i think the authors are exhausted, the spirit lost. Can You imagine the enemies are maily some wolves, dogs and flying harpies...
This is my personal opinion and i do not want to insult anyone even authors.
:smile2:
Is very hot in Germany? Here we have 37 C Degrees.:blush:
God, bless the man who invented Air Climatic.

Maybe others like the game.

Poor Capo, the Caro.
Use Save often.
I will pray every day morning for Yr victory.
This is Yr 200-th game?
Do not forget that someone is after You.
Do You plan to rest this hot Summer?
It is time.
You worked very hard indeed.

:smile2:
Pls, what will be Yr feeling when in the near future You receive a news that You are not the best gamer in AB already?
Probably You will cry day and night.
Prepare more paper napkins.
To wipe Yr bitterly tears.

Yours

If my memory serves me well, there is no bug in BaK.

Guten Tag.
I just entering new town - Swamp Town, using service of Captain Squib.
BTW his ticket is very expensive - 2000 golds for 2 hours sailing.
Anyway yoga is ex-sailor..
Hope this is not one-way ticket?
If it is, i hope to find Magic Mirror.
Otherwise i have to have Walkin on Water spell.
True? False?
I know not.

What, the hell is this fu--ed Smithy system: separate Buy and Inventory.
I loose my time to enter, compare, equip my command!
Very stupid indeed.

Start of investigation of new town..
Wow!!
Ninjas? Again and strong?

:dislike:
But..Kmonster is again correct.
I met so strong resistance from Gnouls that....
And i know not where is Healing Temple here if any.

What goes up and down but never moves?
Zum Teufel!

Just write it down and keep thinking, maybe you'll get an idea during the next days. Such riddles are optional and usually only yield some hints you can get elsewhere too, you don't have to solve them and you'll probably find information about the solution later in the game.

OK
I write it down and keep thinking.
I open my eyes for additional information later.

I was so short of money that i have not ever 2-3 K to pay for training but after Cuclop Cave i obtained 50 + 10 K Gold and the good news is i discover 2 nice wells - for add. Spell points and for add. AC.
Also i have now Lloyd Beacon.
But one more same spell will be very nice.
Is it a good idea to carry 2 armours: when one is broken to change it with good one? Otherwise i am forced to use one Spell caster always to heal that one with broken armor this way my attack force is reduced.

Dear Kmonster,
why You do not start similar video as did Geordy in Friday?
Let say in Momday.
I am sure You will do Your best.

:D

Sorry, no MoMday but Monday. Lapsus lingve.

Dear Kmonster,
I entered Cyclops cave and still i do not kill this Cyclop. My actions:
I visit 3 wells - for HP, AC and SP.
My levels are 9-10. More detailed images will be soon provided.
I use Blessed and Holy bonus spells to boost all 3 Spell casters before enter the battle. No suff. SP for other members. I use Lloyd Beacon to goto just before the battle place to save my party from the damages of spear-like doors.
BTW, is this Cyclop the only one or more will come?

Very battle:
He appeared 2 steps before me. I used:
First Kastore (the last one in battle row - with special ears) (I use custom made team) casts Dragon breath/Fire - 24/5 - 3 times during the battle.
Then Sir Canegh hits with Sparks - 8/1 - 2-3 times during the battle. Also he heals others by Power Cure - 16/3.
Resurectra hits using Cold ray - 18/4 about 5-7 times.
Strange: Another 3 fighters, non casters hit from time to time.
But Cyclop beats me.
Interesting how much HP he has? No Q.

Maybe i have try many times, maybe i have to use not Fire, but Elec, Cold or Acid? I know not.
I will try 3-4 times, if no result will cont. to increase my levels and will back to smash Cyclop(s).

Sometimes you'll meet monsters which are too powerful for your level. In this case you can continue running your head against the wall trying to defeat them immediately or you can go elsewhere and return later when you're more experienced and better equipped (if you don't forget it :p ).
Corak's notes about the cave should give you an impression about what's in the cave, there's only one Cyclops King but many Cyclopes. Just wait until you have the joy of fighting three of them at once :D .
There's an "Identify Monster" spell in the game.

Ha ha ha,
Joy:D
ROFL

brave never forget.

Visiting Cyclops cave i found a chest of 50 K, which helped me to buy Path Finder and Mountainering spells;
now i am able to explore all area around.
I started this massive work and colonized many places.
My plan is to colonize all places on the earth surface,
then to start Caves, then Skies (if any).
Maybe future final boss is in some air hanging castle? I know not.
All 5 towns, namely F.Head, Baywatch, Swamp town, F. Height and Wildabar are dully explored.

About famous Cyclop: I have substitude of God potion, Might potion. Maybe it will increase my power?
Soon i will make kind visit of Mr. Cyclop to speak about the mussels. :hihihi:
....
Sadly i failed in my first steps in Swords.
Rats!!

The story continued... I colonize the world.
My members are level 10 except Dark Shade with 11 level. Nice.
During my travels I met strange well which sent me from area A4 to E4, which is desert island.
Here I met very strong monsters: Barbarians. Moreover they attacked in group of 4.
OK.
I cast Lloyd Beacon to set this location and retreat using same well.
Then boost my team: Wizard eye, Up Might, Spell points, HP, AC. Then I cast Blessed spell on my 3 spell casters. Ready. Save and Lloyd Beacon. This way I save my team from routine step-by-step.
Landing in area E4.
Important: Do NOT move far from safety well - teleport in fact!!
Barbarians are very strong, but I found more strong creature. Roc.
The same roc which attacked me in Skies in Clouds of Xeen. But more, more stronger.


The very battle:
I am ready.
One step left and 4 Barbarians appeared. OK. The distance between us is 2 steps.
Our kind dispute started: Kastore hits with Dragon breath/Fire (30/5) 3 times. Sir Canegn – Cold Ray (20/4) – 3 times. 3 Fighters hit also. Now is time Resurectra to hit by 3 Cold Ray (20/4).
These spells are the best I have.
Voilaaa. Victory. But pls do not think it was so easy as my explanation.
Ha ha ha. Try it.

OK. I am wounded but still strong. Suddenly I saw before me some motion. Save and forward.
2 steps and....small shack and before it 3 waiting Barbarians.
Brave entered the battle. Terrible, because now my defense was broken and I was forced to use Sir Canegn as healer (Power cure – 22/3), which reduced my attacks. But I am brave and even hopeless I continued fighting. Miracle! I won. And then destroyed the shack to be presented with 500 000 HP! Great.
Back to Vertigo sry to Baywatch and my levels are now 11 + 12.
Forget to say that after destroyed shack I saw.. giant Roc bird.
No, no I wisely retreat back to my base, using the well.

Hmmm...what to do?
To visit my old friend Cyclop or to visit my new friend Roc?
I know not.
:smile2:

It might be a good idea to equip all party members with a ranged weapon, like bow, and let them shoot from distance to weaken enemies so you don't have to always cast spells (and lose spell points) while at distance, and still keep the tactical advantage over enemies. If there're according skills for those ranged weapons, could be worth it raising them, too.
Might just make the battles a bit easier for you.

:ph34r:
OK, Master,
but MHO is that MM3 is more difficult game than MM4&5.
Believe me i passed MM4 9 times and feel very well the battles.
No, the battles a bit easier for you .
The battles are very hard. One, listening to my explanation will be misleaded that they are pieces of cake. Not at all.
Did You hear me to complain in MM4 for strong enemies? Never - even Sand worms, even Acid Dragons, even dog of the Lord were barrier for brave.
Till here the things are difficult. If You remember how many deadly weapons we have in MM4. No same ones here. My best weapon now is miserable Dragon Breath with 4 options: Fire, Elec, Cold, Acid!!
Our best Freund Gnadige und Dear Kmonster told me very wise words:
brave, MM3 is harder than MM4.
First time i just smiled but then realised how wise is Kmonster.
..
Of course, i will try your advise for ranged weapons.
About spell points i want to assure You i have about 170 SP (Kastore + about same volume for Resurectra+120 for Sir Canegn) after boosting, which are enough for short victorious battle.
Spasibo!
:D

20 minutes later.
I returned to area E4 and starting very careful investigation. Have to be careful... because...
soon i terrified found about 10 Barbarions before me and more in the distance. They were unable to attack me because the old fox used water to investigate. I saw Rocs also.
So i returned back and now decide to pay visit to my fiend (not mistake) Cyclop.
Boosted i entered the cave.
Soon it appeared.
Master, it was at distance 4 steps but i decided to hit with the best spells i have. It is very strong.
This battle strategy wins: 6 Dragon Breath/Fire, 8 Cold Ray and 9-10 hits and it ist kaput.
2 steps ahead and new one appeared.
Exhausted i command:
-Genug! Alles zurück.-
and we retutned in base for rest.
:smile2:

Could it be that you are too hasty, Yoga?

I solved M&M3 in my time, and I hadn't any big problems here. I.e., if you see almost impossible battle, most probably it means that you entered in wrong time. Too early. :) Did you tried to move into some easier directions? :)

Actually I encountered the same "problem" in M&M VI - you're required to have knowledge of which locations are easier, and in which you can be easily annihilated, even if it's on the very same map where you started the game.
Just to name a relatively easy to find teleporter on the roof, in starting city, which teleports you right into a horde of big dragons. 2 seconds, no actually 1.5 seconds - your 4 party members are toast, game over.
A bit too extreme boundaries without any hints as to where it will become moderately more difficult. That makes experience gathering and leveling up often quite a tactical, hard challenge for new players to the game(s).
Guess it's no different in previous games in the series.

O, да.
I am eager gamer.
Some time stupid and even...suicide.
ha ha ha
Do You know that i passed the whole M&M4 without equipped myself and reach Lord Xeen this way. Of course final battle was impossible. So, stupid Bulgarian, started the game 7 times, till one day, desperated, i asked the gentle Kmonster for help. He was so kind to receive my save file and simply told me - yoga, you are not equipped, not weapon, not armor, you son of the beach.
ha ha ha
Without last 5 words. He is very polite man.
Can You imagine?
Without equipment i reach the Lord.
Master, this fact shows how easy game is Clouds.
SS, if You played Clouds You will agree with me that there are countless passwords and riddles in MM3 till we have 4-5 passwords is MM4:
-rosebud, laboratory, therewolf-
Hy, вот
What turns everything around but does not move?

I reach 11 level for 5 members and 12 for 1 man.
Moreover in MM4 we have many deadly weapons. But not here.
I do not use WT here.
Maestro Capo said that the wise gamer uses WT only in extraordinary case.:smile2:

Master, 4 party members?
In fact the areas around starting town are easy to colonize.
No matter it is Vertigo or F.Head.
But Lava area is not too far from Vertigo and Lava Golems and Acid Dragon are not easy at all.
Then Ice area is not very difficult but Desert area with Sand worms is terrible.
Anyway in MM4 at some stage i feel i may beat the game. No same feeling in MM3. Conrariwise, i feel like an animal in the case.
No, i dont weeping. Just speak about MM3.
Am i wrong to think the authors of M&M series are creators of Heroes of Might and Magic?
Wunderbar.

:)
Good/Bad deal?
Caro Capo, mi scusi,
i do not ask for help Howto beat boss in Las Vegas or Texas but for ordinary deal only.
I hope this is not cheating.
But if You think this is cheating, the Q is invalid.
Si?
:smile2:

PS: 2 more Cyclops out.

4 party members in Might & Magic 6, I meant :) That's the maximum you can have there, maybe in earlier games of the series you can have more - I didn't play them yet so I don't know.

Heroes of Might & Magic series is the round-based Fantasy Strategy relative of the Might & Magic RPG series. They've been both made by the same company if I remember correctly, and continually shared the same world and story, more or less. For example, Might & Magic 6 plays approximately at the same story time, simultaneously, as Heroes of Might & Magic II - Succession Wars expansion, and Heroes of Might & Magic III continued from Might & Magic 6, respectively.
So they're all part of the same Fantasy world and story, with more or less the same monsters in either series.

OK.
To be fair, i do not like at all Heroes. Poor games.
It is MHO. No base for dispute. No.
Dear Kmonster,
i read a discussion between You and some guest for MM3, who weeps he lost 15 Millions gold. Really? I duno abour such danger. Soon i will go to nearest bank to deposit money.
ha ha ha
Wrong dig and voilaaaa...no money. Poor man.:hihihi:
But in Shangri-la he can obtain 2 millions.
Kidding of course.
...
Mates, i entered in big trouble.
Some fu--ed phantoms aged my team and i am in panic now.
Any advices are very welcome.
TY, DS, Spacibo, Grazie...

Don't panic. Unnatural aging can be reversed later in the game just like in MM4 and MM5 and as long as your characters are younger than 75 years the aging effects are minimal.
So before you have 70 year old characters there's absolutely no need to ask for help.


About deal or no deal: I always made this deal but you don't have to, it's just an opportunity to trade gems for something else.

:doh:
Bow before KMONSTER!
Respect!!
Thats why German is the motor of Europe.
Because the Germans are very good fighters, workers and Wizards.
Before 100 years he told me:
yoga, do saves of Yr game asap. And i follow this advice strictly.
My save file restores the game before aging phantoms. Sehr gut.

Details: 2 of my men were aged from 20 to 40 years, others - to 25 years.
I think that is better to loose 8 hours gaming instead of tremble every second if someone will die.
Yes, one member died. So i will restore the game before bad moment.
Long live of Kmonster!
:3:

Actually, I didn't play M&M4. At least, no longer than couple of hours.

I played World of Xeen at whole. And I cannot say that it have little of riddles. ;)
Yes, both M&M and HoMM are the same world.

No, it's not exactly "same" (at least, from part 2 and on). They are fills the gaps into each other stories. 2nd part of HoMM happens right before part 6 of M&M, and 3rd - between 6 and 7. I didn't play HoMM4 unfortunately.

Germans are evil, trust me yoga

Si, si, Caro Capo!
There are three gentlemen in AB, who i trust without any doubts.
They are You, Master and Kmonster.
I will never repeat NEVER lift up sword against them.
You advance in Fallout: New Vegas?

I do progress in MM3:
All five towns are colonized +:
-Fountain Head + Cave
-Baywatch
-Wildabar + Cave
-Swamp town
-Bl.Hights
I need Wlalkin on Water spell to start massive investigation of this world.
One stronger aggresive spell will be very handy.
2 members - lvl 12
3 members - lvl 13
1 member - lvl 14
Age - 20 years.
Money and gems:
Deposits in bank: 350 K golds, 5 K gems.
I have 20 K for daily needs only.
Next tasks: To explore another 3 town caves with extremely care because of aging phantoms.

SS
I would like to recommend You Clouds of Xeen.
Very nice game. You will not regret.

SOS
 

Please, little help for me.

I am in big trouble.
I entered this dangerous Cavern under Swamp town with Phantoms.
Yes, the same Phantoms, which Age my party.
I was very careful, i used all my experince to avoid any hit which age the member with 5 years. I did 3 attempts.
But this is impossible. Why?
Because i have not Holy word or Desintegrate spells but miserable Cold Ray - 24/4 and Dragon breath - 33/4.
Moreover their traps are very bad for me:
-First i meet Electricity barrier.
OK, i use to do Protections from Elements - Electricity.
-Then thin wall.
I use the feet of first 2 members to smash it.
-The last but the worst are 3 Phantoms, waiting for me. Plus Reaper.
I used Turn Undead.
The result was only one hit from Phantoms. Only Kastore - Elf Sorserer was hit and now he is not 20 years but 25 years old.
-brave, what do You do to reach so good result?
OK. My small secret is that is protected 3 of my members with Power shield. They were not hit.
-Why no protection for all team?
Sry, have no more Spell points.
Well, to restore the age i have to drink from some Fountain which is in some island.
If i am sure i may pass the game even with this aged member, i will cancel my Q.

What island, where is located?
Pls. support me, i swear this is the only Q for this game.

I am so criticized in the forum for my Q"s, that i am feeling very upset now.

Danke sehr.
:palm:

I've spent most time modding it and finally i've start playing it, level 8 now :OK:

Umm... Yoga, Clouds of Xeen is 1/3 of World of Xeen. Dark Side is another 1/3, and full game unlocked only with both intertwined together.

You can ask as much as you want Yoga, just don't feel bad if we're not going to lower your achievement by spoiling too much :bleh1:

You could start the game with 60 year old characters and still have more than enough time to beat it. You'll find out about the fountain soon enough, be patient, there are many hints about it in the game.
There's no difference between age 18 and 34 and your mage might even benefit somewhat from aging effects since int and cha are raised.

Hurray!!:3:

But i face another problem.
I understand why i have not Walk on water spell. Easy.
Because this spell is for Druids or Rangers.
No members of my team are Druid or Ranger.
I have Paladin, Cleric and Sorcerer.
Start again? O, no.
If i remember well this game gives me Custom made team.
Again in swamp.
:(
Lvls 12,13

No need to worry. The "Walk on Water" spell is not needed to finish the game but you can use it nevertheless and explore everything even with your party.

Oh, the ridiculousness of the early day computer game industry!:smugulon:

GOD hears my sincere pray for You and now You are 8-th level player.
Bravo!
Do You use AK-47?
No! Have to.
:3:
The AB site is proud You are among us, directing us to follow the holy road of solo migliorare (self improvement).
No to WT. We are gamers at all, not ....
:hello:

Yes, You correct again.
Gladly, after careful evaluation of my stuff i found Hurray some Rod of walkin on water, which is equivalent of Walk on water spell.
Nice.
I am proud to say that i perfect my battle tactic and now i may withstand to and kill 3 Cyclops together.
Now my main target is to find where the hell is this small island with Pyramid of Yount. I very carefully inspect the main map and far left dowh i saw an island and pyramid image. Maybe this is this pyramid in force?
I will inspect the island avoiding meetig of Volture Roc, which is now very strong for me.
I try to guess who/what can be the stealer of money!
Not to worry. My 95% money are in the bank.

One advice: Do not smash the Fountain which produces these green mushroom like Wild Fingus. They offered 10 gems after killing.

I started new project: I dismiss aged Sorcerer and created new Druid, whos name is naturlich Kmonster. Paying 300 K golds for HP he reaches level 9. He has Walk on water spell. He is 18 years old. File is saved. I stopped the project for now.

Still do not find similar place, poor me.
:D

Hmmm..Strange.
I passed long ago CoX and DsoX but know not about some more part of WoX? More info, pls?

As much as I remember reading about it somewhere, there are some dungeons and other things in both games, which cannot be entered / used while in either of the two games alone. When you install the two games together though (all files in the same folder I think), those unusable locations suddenly become freely accessible - which ultimately expands both games for an even bigger world. The combination of two games was called World of Xeen.
It's an unusual, but very interesting concept, which no other game seems to have ever reproduced - essentially it's easier to provide a complete game from the start instead.

No AK in this game, sorry :suspicious:

AK = Avtomat Kalashnikova = Machine gun invented by Russian technic Kalashnikov- sry forget the first name.

My progress:
All the day i am fighting in the very strange caverns under Pyramid??
Can You image mates?
Desert.
Pyramid in desert. Normal. One enters in Pyramid.... to....find...
modern techno halls!
Maybe alien complex.
Duno but it is full with strong mechanical enemies some ED-409.
The battle is very difficult because my power is enough for one monster. Then back to main base, restore, repair broken armor, boosting and Lloyd Beacon.
Rats!!
This Rod of Water walking ist kaput! No more..
Levels - 12,12,12,13,14,12
Kastore is 26 years old now. 300 K golds.
I suspect that the key to solve Aging case is here..somewhere in the Pyramid.
Do not miss this key with another one Key Card, which i carry with me.

Dear Kmonster,
You means that is possible to visit islands using some teleportation without Walk on water spell?
:D

Dear twillight,
how You doing?

Yes, that's one possibility. But exploring everything can of course be rewarding.

Yep, still no AK in the game

Exactly. Actually, you need to start special "merging" module instead installing M&M5 to make full game. And it's not "suddenly" - you simply have keys for this dungeons in opposite part. I.e. dark side dungeons unlocked from cloud side and vice versa - so naturally unaccessible from only one game. :) And whole technological part of game, AFAIR, accessible only from this meta-dungeons. Just along with ultimate game goal - restoring full Xeen. :)
Well, there are Ancient technologies (aka blasters) that will work as decent replacement. ;)

:3:
OK, i remember one semi-damaged airplane in Lava section in Dark Side.
There was same modern techno design in it.
My acts:
I passed Alpha, Main sectors. Now i am in Beta section.

(Hey, Gnadige Friday Geordy,
do You find the last mine with Dwarf King?
Name is Ome-a. Location? Hmmmm... try....e.a.s.t.
ha ha ha
Kill first the King, then the supportes - 3 Sergeants.
Erfolg!):D

I continued hard battles with these ED-409. But i up my HP because i found and received 3 Orbs to the nearest king. They gave me 3 M HP.
Just now i found one more Orb. lvls - 14,15,16.
Sadly, i can not smash yet the doors at opposite side with feets.
I suspect that there are more Orbs over there.

Dear Master und Kmonster,
Would be so kind in mean time answer me -
Do You besucht that secret place Shangri-la in Clouds?
If JA, how do You returned back? Town portal or step-by-step beating terrible strong monsters? I passed this road to surface. Hmm... there was some greedy Taxman and i was forced to advance rückwärts..
ha ha ha
:D:3:

Yoga have you Steam ? I really need you in my steam friend list :OK:

I didn't... still have to play through any Might & Magic title which came before M&M 6 :)

You have time to do.
:hihihi:

@Capo

Si, si, amico,

braveyoga

At Yr service.

Your slave
yoga
:bleh1:

Details:
Cyclops cavern passed.
5 minutes to finish Dark Warrior cave.
Thanks to the 6 orbs i reach 21 lelel. Great!

Tried to add you on Steam, Yoga. It found me user Vla1111, and that's all. Is it you? :)

The terrible monsters were defeated when walking down to Shangri-La and without monsters to fight there's no point in walking back where the party came from. I guess I used Lloyd's beacon for leaving.

:OK:
Of course, Vla1111 is yoga.
:D
But see also braveyoga.
Pravda, i am still new in Steam site.
I want to buy a game -
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

A Vi kto?
Smiling Spectre?

If my memory serves me well, there were 2 exits from Shangri-la:
One down (I think this is to Dark Side and it is open when the relevant conditions are fulfilied. Never used.)
One up - Here the player will meet terrible monsters. The end of this battle track is some location in Lava section.
I used above mentioned road and LLoyd Beacon also.
Pls to be excused if i am wrong.

...
NOT A Question:
I still do not understand how to reach the key/device/ in Pyramids to start the Fountain of Youth!!
I passed Alpha, Beta, Main control engines and partially Aft.
But see no one crystal which will send me further..
Thanks to Orbs and Artifacts i reach 30-32 levels, which is very nice.
For the first time i feel i can win..
Even i killed one Vulture Roc! Yes, i did.
1 Start Burst and 2 Implosion und Roc kaput.:hihihi:

There are two identifiers on Steam.

First one is login. It's visible only for you. And I suppose, "braveyoga" is the login. It cannot be easily changed, I think, but I can be wrong - I never feel the need to change it. Now Steam can at least seek by it - before it couldn't.

Other is "common" name, that everyone sees. It's Vla for you. It can be changed, and I would recommend to change it to be more clear. ;)
Get both. First one treated as more "mature" and more expanded than second by many. Witcher 2, it seems, have better graphics, but much less scale and more streamlined quests. Still variable enough, if you'll not compare with first part. :)
Surprise! :D

I am always Smiling Spectre, if rules allowing it. Otherwise I am forcing to be Smiling_Spectre, SmilingSpectre, or even SSpectre sometimes. But it's always me. ;)

Steam informed me You add me to Yr friend list.
Spasibo.

Warnings:
1. Do not run as idiot through the swamps around Swamp town or You will loose 2 members in dangerous Quicksand!
The skulls around it tell: Do not move!

2. Do not dig without Save anything in Desert Island!
You will discover the very strong monster - Vulture Roc.
.....
YOU are warned.
:3:

humble but clever brave is able now to jump between islands using Teleport.
:D
Nice, nice game better than New Vegas..
No any bugs in MM3,MM4,MM5 and Swords of Xeen.
MHO is that the old RPG are much better than new ones as Skyrim.

I continue the exploration of Isles.
My levels are 45-47.
My only opponents i am unable to defeat are Minotaur and Dragon Lord. Still..
I am using Teleport to jump from island to island now.

Dear Mates,
Friends,
Freunds,
Vriends,
Amigos,
Amici,
Друзья,
Приятели,
would be so kind to give me little help (very little) for a questiom which make me cry days and nights?
As You probably know one of my character is older than others; He is 29 years old, another ones - 23 years.
There is a sunken island in Piranha bay, which has to rise.
But i do not know what to do to activate this rising..
A Fountain of Youth will decrease this age to normal.
This Fountain is located on the island.
I visited already the Pyramid with Forward Storage Sector.
Maybe You Caro Capo will help poor brave?
But if someone thinks i am a insolent cheater, the Q is write off imm.
:smile2:

You're far from having an aging problem so you don't need any help regarding this. In the pyramids use Wizard Eye and search for walls you can bash.

Danke und danke!
:D
Appeased.
levels 50-54
I met very strong monster in Command Control named Terminator but i killed it to take 5 Mil. and 3 Mil. HP for 2 members. Great!

Mates,
do not cry if You have no Teleport spell.
Why?
Because:
1. Closer examination shows that the distance between isles is not big. I tryied to Teleport the team in random direction, using max volume 9 and this way i landed in many islands.
2. Ethernalize spell allows to walk on water also.
3. There is Ranger in one inn who may be hired. He is able to buy Walk on water spell. The only requirement is to reach 7 level. Pay 1 mil. or less money for HP in the special fountain located in Fountain Head and fertig.

Who/what is the final boss?
NO Q!
Never mind!!
Tremble, boss, brave army is approaching now...
:D

Guten Morgen, dear Kmonster,
:hihihi:
Rats!
I entered the next cave to find 2 Orbs, which repelled (abgestoßen) me!!
Nearby is 3-heads statue which tell me: Bla..bla.... drink some Cup und so weiter.
Did You met same orbs?
Und..?
It is a bug maybe?
:doh:

What!They want to sacrifice a member?!!But i love all of them.:lame:

Didn't you have resurrection spells? ;)

:whistling:
Relax.
First of all that member was eradicated only.
Visit to Temple and vse v poryadke (no problem).
Moreover i do have Resurrection spell and even Raise dead spell.
But i avoid their usage because i think some parameter is reduced.
Levels 57-63.
Location - Greywind castle dungeon.
I killed 4-5 green Great Hydras and reverced the watches.
Few places are still uknown.
brave is strong bogatyr. Do You know who is Ilya Murometz?
:hihihi:

Something along these lines :whistling:

http://www.mopo.de/image/view/2012/1...0_20121128.jpg

:hihihi:
Ha ha ha
Zdorovo.
It is me, Master?
Of course..
SS has to read Russian history even Bilini.
In fact i am joking now...
Hope You understand.

offffff
humble note:
yoga is slim.
I am able to eat nothing 7 (seven) days.
I swear in my dad.
You, Master?

As long as you drink simple water all the time, it's all good :) More than week or two of fasting is usually not necessary.

:smile2:
Yes, sure.
During these 7 days i drink about 3 liters water daily.
Usually i am in near mountain in some villa.
Alone.
Details:
I feel terrible cold. Even outside is hot summer time.
So i am forced to use warm shower very often. Even in night i embrace big container with very hot water.
But this is gamer site not yoga forum..
:smile2:

Alone in a villa in the mountains! Cool!

Strange for You?
No villa and mountains around Pescara?
Only sea aroind Your location?
ha ha

...
brave advanced in MM3.
Now i will precisely re visit all location to prepare for final battle and so.

RATS!!
 

How strong is this Dragon Lord?

I hit it with:
5 x Star Burst (5 x 200)
14 x Sun Rays (14 x 150)
about 30 hits by 3 fighters
Healing with 2 X Divine Intervation
and it is still yellow collored
Not even reddish color!

Well, it has to be the final battle after all. Special and all that. Not like wave him aside with the little finger, you know :p
If there're any monsters left somewhere in the world (or if they respawn after some time) it would be a good idea to get a level or two more, for each of your characters. Maybe then the dragon puppy would be easier.

Master,
i am strong now (i think):

Sir Canegm - Paladin, 65 lvl, 1450 HP, 800 SP,
Carg Hack - Barbarian, 58 lvl, 1696 HP, Fighter, not spell caster
Maximus - Knight,58 lvl, 1770 HP, Fighter, not spell caster
Dark Shade - Robber,60 lvl, 1230 HP, Fighter, not spell caster
Resurectra - Cleric, 65 lvl, 1225 HP, 1540 SP,
Kastore - Sorcerer,60 lvl, 955 HP, 1004 SP

Money - 6 mil. golds in the bank deposit, 1 mil. cash with me for payments.
39 K gems

This Dragon Lord keeps 2 Orbs, which cost 2 mil. HP.
Now i am sure that this will be the final battle.
I do not know his HP, but i suspect they are about 15-20 K HP.
Have no info.
Vielleicht dear Kmonster knows. He knows all about games.

I will retreat to up my levels and do some works.
Maybe i will try to kill the Minotaur, which use the spell Death.
If i am lucky to not receive this spell in the very beginning of the battle, maybe i will kill that monster.
I know not.
Will try again.
:whistling:

Actually i live i north italy, my city is not in the abandonia options :doh:

But at least you can change your location. I don't even have an option on the main site to select/change it at all since, well, quite a long time already.

The Dragon Lord (just like the entire Dragon Cave) is optional, it's the monster with the most HP (10,000) and grants the most XP (10,000,000), no problem for Yoga the powerful :whistling:

:mischief:
You're joking with me again.
(Sie scherzen mit mir wieder)
:OK:
I tried 5 times, in vein.
Fully concentrated, saved, boosted, i met the Lord.
I used my Sorcerer spell Start Burst 5 times - He has 1004 SP (5 x 200 SP).
Then Sir Conegm started to beat with Sun Ray spell - 6-7 times. (6 x 150 SP).
All 3 fighters beat Lord non stop.
OK. His health color transfered from Green to Yellow. But not to red!!
This time Resurectra - the Cleric healed and used Start Ray spells.
You know and say 10000 SP. Hmmm...
I expected to see how he becames red.. Not.
Sadly the spell Time Distortion failed..
OK.
When brave started his famous crusade against Lord Xeen no one living monster left behind him on the earth, water, underground,desert and sky.
Here are Minotaur and Dragon Lord..
I do not hurry even Caro Capo reached 200 games already.
The problem is that i have not single clue how to win this battle:
- The present battle strategy lies on the aggresive plan.
Maybe i have to try more defensive strategy because the monster is very strong and battle will be no short, no type of Blitz Krieg.
Maybe i have to protect my members with Blessed, Holy Bonus, Power Shield and Heroism spells.
But this action will reduce my SP.
I know not.
Hard time for brave..
he he he

OFF
PLEASE SIGN AVAAZ PETITION!
Right now, the global drums of war are beating over Syria, but if enough of us make sure Rouhani and Obama know the world wants bold diplomacy, we could end the nightmare for thousands of terrified Syrian children.

WE HAVE TO STOP THE WAR!!!
NO FAIR WAR AND PEACEFUL ROCKETS!!!!
PLEASE SIGN AVAAZ PETITION!

Cool, this thing is new to me!
Sorry yoga for abusing of your topic :whops:

The pleasure is extremely mine.
Your words are my words.
Use and write down what YOU want, Caro Capo!


BTW, to stay alone and very hungry even in villa is not Great pleasure, believe me.
I did records of my feelings during the hungry period (they differ from normal) so some day i will post in Bla-bla zone.

On the road again.
I reloaded my AK47 and
continued my crusade.

OFF
Sadly, the great hero Geordy probably was killed. In Omega mines.
But..but.. i have Resurrect spell and Raise dead spells and...
No, no RIP, dear Geordy. I will help You.
:D

Back again.
 

I am back and ready to fight.
:D
Dear Kmonster,
i am here again and hope to pass this pearl of NWC.

Now i am in Maze of Hell.
3 Orbs and a card.
Fountain which will transfor me in Ultimate Adventurer.

Sir Canegn - Paladin - 65 lvl
Crag Hack - Barbarian - 58 lvl
Maximus - Knight - 58 lvl
Dark Shade - Robber - 60 lvl
Resurectra - Cleric - 65 lvl
Kastore - Sorcerer - 60 lvl

Minotaur and Medusa expect me here.

Hallo, Kmonster,
Wie geht es Ihnen heute?
Gut?
OK.
May i consult You about very small issue here in MM3.
I know You played the game many years before, but i hope Yr
nice memory will serve You again.
Well, You know i broke MM3 to finish MM4.
But i can not find my remarks how many orbs i bring to every of three kings.
You know that if i bring 11 Orbs to some king a remarkable change will start.
I do not want any change still.
I need Yr competent advice.
Danke Sehr!
brave

I play now the game listening to one old Greek progressive rock band -
Aphrodite's child. Esp. the song It is 5 o"clock
:smile2:
I have strange musical taste.?
True, Steph?
:hihihi:

Hmmm..i think, i am feeling now that i spproximate
to the end of the game.
:hihihi:
I have to enter Cental Sector and...

yoga is brave warrior.

La la la lo lo lo
:whistling:

Hurray!Once again! Noch ein mal! yoga is great!
 

I won!
Before 2 minutes i finished the game..
Wow!!
Very nice game.
Danke Sehr, Danke Sehr,
geliebt KMONSTER, You recommended me this game.
TY, mates, for moral support!
TY, AB!

Well, brave passed MM3,MM4,MM5, Swords of Xeen.
What else?

MM what?
Ha ha ha
:3:

Well, as you go backwards with these, the next logical step is MM2, then MM1.

Wow, that was fast

But, sob..sob, no so fast as Your gaming.
205 > 86
:D

@twillight
O,no,no, dear twillight.
Yes, i use to start random games, Y know.:smile2:
But can You tell me something about Might and Magic 6 namely
The mandate of heaven?
Your or other opinion will be appreciated..
I am able to start the game in 2 minutes.
My first impression is that this game is with new design and is similar to Daggerfall..
Master, SS, Kmonster, Capo, StaaViinsZ, do YOU played this game?
My thanks for Yr time and help!

yoga known as brave also
:OK:

Sorry, this pic is for new thread

Create the new thread, I'll reply there.

But a quicky:
mage + cleric + paladin + archer is the strongest set for you'll have plenty of skillpoints to spend (collect horsehoes!).
With this you'll have 2 healer and 2 caster (and the initial bowman is nice).
Mage is most precious for teleporting (including Loyd's beacon) and flying, priest and paladin for healing.
Everyone needs bow.
Best healing is NOT Shared Life (unlike for MM7, where the best team substitutes knight for paladin).
Insanity is the biggest danger for your mages (nullifies spell points).
Hiding and hitting through walls is common tactic.
Get used to the chance for real-time combat.
Remember that you can fly up-down while fighting turn-based (makes fighting dragons much more easier).

Congratulations Yoga :woot:

I knew you could do it without walkthroughs.

Danke, dear Kmonster.
You are very kind.
But without You and Your competent and prompt help i am nothing,
starting from early CoX till now.
Respect!
